The drawing is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

24 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, we can see that AB and DE are both adjacent sides of their respective triangles.

While, CE and BC are both opposite sides of their respective triangles

Now, from your side, x is the distance to the island.

So, from ratio of similar triangles, we can find x.

Thus;

8/x = 3/9

Cross multiply to get;

8 × 9 = 3x

3x = 72

x = 72/3

x = 24

Thus, distance from your side to the island is 24 yards

At one gym, there is a $12 start-up fee, and after that each month at the gym costs $20. At another gym, it costs $4 to startup,
mart [117]

Answer:

In 4 months the cost of both gyms will be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we need to model the function to calculate the cost of the 2 gyms.

Slope-intercept equation of linear function

f(x)=mx+b

where

m\rightarrow slope of line

b\rightarrow y-intercept

Let linear function to calculate total cost of gym be:

c(n)=mn+b

where

c\rightarrow total cost of gym

m\rightarrow cost per month (slope)

n\rightarrow number of months

b\rightarrow start-up fee (y-intercept)

For Gym 1

m=20 , b=12

c(n)=20n+12

For Gym 2

m=22 , b=4

c(n)=22n+4

In order to find the number of months the cost of both gyms will be the same, we need to equate both functions and solve for number of months (n)

20n+12=22n+4

\\\textrm{Subtracting 22n from both sides}\\20n-22n+12=22n-22n+4\\-2n+12=4\\\textrm{Subtracting 12 from both sides}\\-2n+12-12=4-12\\-2n=-8\\\textrm{Dividing both sides by -2}\\\frac{-2}{-2}n=\frac{-8}{-2}\\n=4\textrm{ months}

So,

In 4 months the cost of both gyms will be the same.

How many mL of medication are needed to last 10 days if the dose of medication is 2.5 tsp TID (three times a day)?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

369.7 mL of medication

Step-by-step explanation:

How many mL of medication are needed to last 10 days if the dose of medication is 2.5 tsp TID (three times a day)?

From the above question,

The dosage of the medication =

2.5 tsp 3 times a day

= 2.5 × 3 = 7.5 tsp per day.

Since

1 day = 7.5 tsp

10 days = x tsp

Cross Multiply

x = 10 × 7.5 tsp

x = 75 tsp of medication for 10 days.

Step 2

It is important to note that:

1 tsp = 4.929 mL

75 tsp = x mL

Cross Multiply

x = 75 × 4.929 mL

x = 369.669 mL of medication

Approximately = 369.7 mL of medication
